This picture was taken after orginal 60 foot mast was blown over and we had to erect a quick lash up aerial system around 1996/7 I think. Comment left on 25 July 2012 at 23:14 by Graham currie FC REB

I work with Graham Currie, and remember this site as a real challenge to access particularly in Winter, where both he and I regularly had to winch the Argo cat to the top. Also "affectionately" remember the Argo cat whose brakes used to fail on the way down. Thank god for ground anchors. Comment left on 28 October 2015 at 15:32 by Andrew Stewart
